Check this out! Applications for Winter Scientists in Parks positions are open NOW.
The Scientists in Parks (SIP) program officially opens applications TODAY, May 11 for the winter cohort!
Every year, SIP places hundreds of college students, recent grads, and early-career professionals in national parks across the country to support real-world natural resource projects. One position might have you mapping sand dunes at Fire Island National Seashore, surveying towering cacti at Saguaro National Park, or helping protect nesting sea turtles at Padre Island National Seashore 🐢🌵🌊
No two positions are the same, but every experience is built to help launch the next generation of scientists, conservationists, and public land stewards.
If you’re exploring careers in STEM or land management, this is your sign to apply 👀
